Julie Gullins’ fascination with life sciences in her teens is the reason she is embarking on a career as a paramedic today. Her move into the medical response field came after taking several advance studies courses in forensics at the University of Toronto. Her goal is to work with the city's EMS service. In the meantime, she’s in her third summer job season, working as a youth employment outreach officer for Service Canada Centre for Youth (youth.gc.ca). For Gullins, the summer means cottages and getting in some fishing.
